Why War is Morally Superior to Legal Abortion

There are people in the world who need to be killed in order to protect the innocent. None of those people are preborn children.

I have a friend who says that she is against starving children to death and that child starvation is caused in huge numbers in refugee camps, which are caused by wars. Her further hatred of Republicans has apparently driven her to believe that Republicans exist to start wars. She has forgotten that Democrats and Republicans both voted to approve our ongoing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

She is not aware, or doesn’t care, that the number of abortions in the U.S. increased 1500% after Roe v. Wade.

It is possible to wage a noble war: the end of Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito, the liberation of Iraqis and Afghanis from murderous dictators, the driving of Iraq out of Kuwait, the protection of our citizens, the defending of the people in Viet Nam and Korea from invading aggressors, the protection of innocents around the world.

It is not possible to nobly dismember a living infant.

Abortions are performed by people who cut up human children for money.

U.S. wars are waged by people who risk their lives for the protection of others. For some reason, there are people who believe that first group is more likely to tell them the truth than the second group.

Half of most wars are to defend the innocent.

One-hundred percent of every abortion is intended to kill the innocent.

The goal of war, whether offensive or defensive, is geopolitical change. The goal of war is rarely the killing of particular individuals or groups of people. The goal of war is never to kill children, and the United States regularly does everything humanly possible to ensure that children and civilians are spared, including providing aid to people in refugee camps that might result from any war anywhere.

The goal of abortion is the death of a child—always. It’s still a war even if the military action doesn’t result in anyone’s death. It is not an abortion if a child doesn’t die.

No one puts “Starting wars” in their party platform.

Protecting and promoting the legal killing of children throughout the world is a specifically stated goal of the Democrat party, included in their party platform election after election.

We do not ordinarily wage war against our own citizens.

Abortion in the U.S. is aimed directly at children—our own children. Though they have been ruled non-citizens by the Supreme Court (just like slaves in Dred Scott), U.S. abortions are nearly always performed against the children of this nation.

It is not morally wrong to kill someone who is shooting at you or actively trying to kill your children.

Abortion is morally wrong. Don’t believe me? Look at the photos of the dead children that result and get back to me.

Wars are usually forced upon us.

Abortion in the U.S. is most often forced on no one but the child. Pregnancy is caused by the consensual behavior of the parents 98% of the time. The only victim is the child.

The goal of an abortion is to kill a child, not an enemy combatant, not a convicted criminal, not a bloodthirsty dictator, not a terrorist who would enthusiastically give his life to blow your children to hamburger—a child. The goal of every abortion is the death of a child.

Democrats, through legal abortion, have murdered—get this—53 million human children as of 2011. Further, they have achieved this shocking atrocity in a mere 37 years, and in only a single country. There have not been 53 million children, refugees or otherwise, killed by all the wars in all of history in all the world, combined.

National Unity 9/12/11

Remember 10 years ago when the response to the 9/11 attacks resulted in tremendous national unity? Suddenly everyone was proud to be American. There were flags everywhere, even on the lapels of liberal politicians. Our national leaders gathered to sing patriotic and religious songs on the steps of the U.S. Capitol building. I’m told they even prayed together. George Bush’s approval rating was at 90%. We were committed to tracking down—and killing—those who had hurt us so badly. Military action was approved by both parties. There was a swelling in church attendance and military enlistment across the nation. It became socially acceptable to use the word “God” as something other than profanity. James Carvel cancelled his coordinated news media attack on the Bush presidency, and the “blame America first” crowd went into hiding.

In short, everyone was suddenly behaving like … Republicans.
Why is that? Why did this single horrific event change so dramatically the behavior of liberals?

The answer is that for the first time in a long time, the liberal belief system had been penetrated by … reality. They had experienced a head-on collision with the way things actually are, with the unbridled evil of which people are capable, and it was so terrible and so dramatic that even those who rationalize cutting up babies and who promote sodomy to schoolchildren couldn’t deny the reality of it. And in a single day, it turned them into Republicans. It would obviously not last, for America’s TV generations have lost the capacity to remember anything for very long, but I had hoped it would last longer than it did. Eventually liberals were able to push 9/11 from their minds and return to spewing venom and hatred at the people—like George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Don Rumsfeld, and the entire U.S. Military—who sacrifice and die to keep them safe.

There’s been a lot of talk about national unity in the past week, as if it evaporated while we weren’t looking and no one can figure out where it went. But the reality is this: Republicans haven’t changed. America became unified when Democrats, for a time, gave up the rage, lying, and name calling that are the only tactics available to people who cannot win arguments based on facts and results. We returned to division when liberals forgot their unpleasant encounter with reality and went back to a belief system that is invincibly grounded on the way things aren’t.
